Cornwall Monthly Meeting was established in 1788, set off from Creek
Monthly Meeting. It remained under Nine Partners Quarterly Meeting until the
establishment of Cornwall Quarterly Meeting in 1816. When Cornwall Quarterly
Meeting was laid down in 1846 the Monthly Meeting became part of Westbury
Quarterly. Cornwall Monthly Meeting (Orthodox) joined Marlborough Monthly in
1906. Cornwall Monthly Meeting (Hicksite), since 1955 known as Cornwall Monthly
Meeting, remains active to date.

Monthly meeting records normally include minutes of men’s and
women’s meetings for business and registers of births, deaths, marriages,
removals (transfers), and disownments. In general, non-members are not
mentioned in the minutes, even when they attended meeting for worship on a
regular basis.
